F16 (gnome/default)- cpu usage 100%

12-30-2011, 06:00 AM

Hello,

I've just upgraded my computer from F12 to F16 (Gnome Desktop Edition/Default). Although haven't played with F16 much, it looks quiet impressive. Thank you for the developers and contributors.

Question:
Firstly, my computer is 3-4 years old, with 2 CPUs, built by a friend. I'm not much of a hardware person hence can not give further details. Sorry.

Just looking at System Monitor > Resources > , it shows that CPU1 and CPU2 are 100% used, although l'm not running any programs. Hence it seems that my computer hardware is not compatible with F16 (default). Do you agree?

I'll be using more computer mainly to write/run Perl programs, run bioinformatics tools, create/edit images. Hence is it best to install F16 KDE Spin, F16 LXDE Spin, F16 Xfce Spin or F15?

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Regards,
N

Unlikely, but run 'top' from a command line and see what's eating the
CPU.

It seems that speech-dispatch and python are using the CPU. Is this normal?

There's your culprit. I don't know what nermin is, but it's taking up
almost all of your CPU time.

Hi

Try killing speech-dispatch and see what happens?

It may be a bad install..

You could remove it and reinstall

Well, you are taking up all of the CPU time, aren't you?

Seriously, whatever those two processes are is what's wrong. And, it's
probably best not to start out blaming your hardware for slowdowns
instead of checking for software issues. As you see here, top is an
excellent starting point.

1.I killed the speech-dispatch and also the python. CPU usage went to normal level.*2. Restarted the computer and CPU usage was normal.
However the screen froze in both instances.*

I'll reinstall F16 again and see what happens.

Hi

It does not seem reasonable those two process should take that much CPU power for a long period of time.*

Unless the CPU is very underrated.* Which I doubt..

Good luck
